Mnangagwa Signs Law Extending His Rule to 2030

President Emmerson Mnangagwa signed the controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB3) into law, extending his presidential term limit from 2028 to 2030. According to reports by ZiMetro News, the legislative maneuver immediately triggered an urgent High Court challenge seeking to halt the final processing of the bill over alleged financial inducements. As detailed by ZimEye and the Daily News, retired military generals led by Air Marshal Henry Muchena publicly condemned the law, while South African opposition leader Julius Malema trashed the power grab. However, Citizens Coalition for Change faction leader Sengezo Tshabangu defended the amendment as the will of the people. The military's open defiance of the presidency exposes a deep, systemic fracture within Zimbabwe's ruling security apparatus.
